Australian High School
Benefits
- FACE expects Japanese students to contribute to the school by showing an enthusiasm for school life and enhancing the cultural diversity of the school.
- As this is a genuine exchange program, no tuition fees are paid, however
schools that offer to host an inbound student in 2010 are eligible to offer
one of their students the chance to apply for a scholarship or partial scholarship
for 2010. In this way we hope to encourage the reciprocity aspect of the
exchange and create on-going relationships with schools.
Responsibilities
- Experience has shown that the best host families are found within the school community. For this reason, we ask that the school takes responsibility for locating suitable volunteer host families. We accept up to four host families throughout the course of the year, i.e. one per term. More than this is too unsettling for the student.
- State regulations should be adhered to with regard all volunteers. (eg. Queensland host parents should be Blue card holders).
- In order to monitor the progress of the student we ask that the school appoint a counsellor/contact person (usually the Japanese teacher).
- As Japanese high schools require copies of all school reports, the contact person is asked to send copies of semester reports to FACE.
